Welcome back to Hunger Hunt Feast! Today we are going to have a little #realtalk... 

As we age we need to start taking our health more seriously. The 20-year old lifestyle should be left in your 20's. It can feel easy to manage your health and weight when you can eat whatever you want and hustle it off at the gym. 

We to leave the 'hustle' health mentally behind and start applying wisdom to achieve optimal health. 

Learn more about finding rest in your success, how to be around longer for your family along with tips to keep you happy and healthy so you can enjoy your life again. 

QUICK NOTES FROM ZANE:

Career driven high performers greatest liability is their health

The pace maintained in your 20's and 30's can cause health issue in your 40's and 50's

In the effort to take advantage of your most productive years, health is sacrificed on the altar of success

As the symptoms of metabolic disease increase you risk cutting short your productive years

Some high performers maintain both a demanding job and compete in a recreational sport increasing physical stress with little recovery

The desire to win and be successful drives you to ignore pain and fatigue and feel guilty about rest

Its time to change your strategy voluntarily before you are forced to by an unforeseen health event

Change how you motivate yourself away from fear of failure

Delegate more work related tasks, plan healthy meals, make time for rest, adequate sleep and time with loved ones

Time is short
Eliminate decision fatigue by planning ahead and using wearable tech to help manage your lifestyle choices

Get regular blood tests and track progress

Focus on lifestyle changes as accomplishments rather than an immediate result that may not be sustainable

Hosted by fitness expert Zane Griggs, Hunger Hunt Feast | Strategic Fitness digs into a fundamental rhythm that shapes everything we do. It starts with a craving-for better health, a stronger body, or a more fulfilling life. That’s the Hunger. What follows is the strategic pursuit, the Hunt, where plans are made and work gets done. Finally, there’s the Feast, enjoying the tangible results and the satisfaction that comes from earning them. This isn’t just a metaphor for the gym; it’s a lens for viewing business, relationships, and personal growth. Each episode of this podcast unpacks practical, actionable ways to channel that innate drive. You’ll hear conversations that move beyond generic advice, focusing instead on the systems and mindsets that turn a need into focused action, and that action into a reward. It’s for anyone tired of abstract theories and ready to apply a timeless, powerful pattern to their fitness, nutrition, and broader life ambitions. Tune in to transform your hunger into a strategy, and your strategy into a feast.
